Grooming Stitch

Last week, mama went through a phase where she brushed me for a whole week, since I was shedding so much. Mom was so frustrated with my undercoat. 

Mama here: I researched how to get Stitch's shedding under control. I watched a youtube video of this lady, who has 14 corgis, showing her weekly routine of what she would do to keep her corgi's coat under control and keeping them beautiful. Brushing with a brush, then with an undercoat comb, she used conditioner's and paw balm. 

I can also use this technique on Jade, even though her grooming is a lot easier for me. 

Anyways, mom bought the undercoat comb (target, $6.99), after brushing me for a week and combed me out in the backyard. I had so much fur come off of me, that it could have been another small dog. I felt so much better afterwards too! Then she bought waterless foam shampoo by wahl ($5.99) for me and cleaned me up last night. The smell was coconut lime verbana. She rubbed it thoroughly into my coat and combed me out. I am now fresh for the whole week. 

Mom is still thinking about buying paw balm to keep my paws from being dry and a conditioner to keep my coat nice and shinny too. But that will be later. 

My mom loves me~! <3

Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, Coconut Oil and Banana Dog Treats

Before the year ended I finished all the dog treats mama had made for me a couple of weeks ago. So she tried a new recipe but added a few things. Mama ran out of the baby oatmeal from the last batch. So she used regular Quaker oats and used the food processor to grind it finely. Anyways, we hope you enjoy making these treats as much as we did.  Ingredients:  1 1/4 cup Oatmeal 1/4 cup peanut butter 3 tablespoon Coconut Oil 1 medium banana Directions:  Grind up oatmeal. Place in large bowl, mix in banana, coconut oil, and peanut butter.  Create small balls and and then flatten them with a spoon Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake for 15-20 minutes. When done, leave in oven to cool. This makes the treats firm up.

The Dog Walker Company Harness

Mama got me this new harness for our walks. It's so comfy and is not complicated to put on, like some harnesses. I just need to be calm when it is being placed on me when we go walking. The dog harness was bought from TJ Max in size small, since I am a tiny little girl. It's normally $12 online but we got it for $6.99. It is considered to be 'cute and in control'. Description : Durable Material Reflector Accents Easy-Clean Fabric Breathable Mesh Fabric Dual Steel Loop Attachments  The harness has Velcro to wrap around my body and also a snap to secure it in place. I like that there is two loop attachments to hold onto my leash when I walk. When my humans tug on me, it doesn't hurt.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone! I had a great Christmas with my family. I guess I was a good girl this year and Santa Paws sent me a crinkle dinosaur for my gift this year. I haven't been able to tear him apart like those other fluffy stuff animals that I usually get at the pet stores. However, he is awesome to chew on. Also, Mama and the family brought me a new bed for the holiday season. It's so warm and comfy. I've been sleeping on it everyday when I'm done running around the house playing with the kiddos. This has been a great Christmas and year for me. I've learned so much and met some awesome fur friends. Looking forward to the prospects of the new year!
